12 Apr Dauntlessly Edgy

Recently, I find myself falling in love with bolder, statement outfits. Therefore, I decided to take a page out of one of my favorite style icons, Khloe Kardashian, and mirror a look that I thought was sophisticated and daring. Embracing your body type and being confident in yourself no matter the social pressures is an important aspect of developing your style. In the sense that it does not hold you back from wearing whatever you like no matter how extreme or audacious.

As much as I wanted to mirror the look, I added some aspects of my personal style and personality to make it a little more original and real. This coat by Nyabame Nyaribo was it for me. The detail knocked it out of the park with a plunging neckline, slits on the arms which were the most remarkable feature, a bold white color which has seemingly become my favorite color and lastly unique side pockets. I paired the coat with a pair of leather pants, a must have and huge trend that add edge and sophistication to any look.

Keeping up with this confident and bold energy, this was my very first shoot on an open street. At first I had my reservations because of all the stares and on lookers, but I slowly eased into it. It was one of the most thrilling and adventurous shoots I have ever done and I’m excited to do more daring shoots that push me.

To top off my out of the box theme, I wore striking blue aviators and a dramatic shade of lipstick that made my look more remarkable with a touch of color.
